St. Louis Cardinals Radio Network
 | This article needs more citations. (August 2026) |
The St. Louis Cardinals Radio Network is a United States radio network that broadcasts St. Louis Cardinals baseball games. The network consists of 146 stations1 (including the flagship station) (52 AM, 58 FM) and six FM translators in nine states (four in the Midwest and five in the South). Its flagship station is KMOX in St. Louis. Due to an earlier deal with KTRS, it is still a partial owner of that station although Cardinals games no longer air on KTRS (which they did for the 2006–2010 seasons).
As of the 2022 season, the broadcast team consists of play-by-play announcer John Rooney and color analyst Rick Horton. Mike Claiborne occasionally assists on play-by-play, while Matt Pauley, Joe Pott, and Tom Ackerman host the pre- and post-game shows.
History
[edit]The original radio network was established in January 1947, when owner Sam Breadon first extended broadcasts beyond St. Louis.[1] At the time, it reached six stations in two states.[1] As of 2020, the St. Louis Cardinals Radio Network remained the largest of any baseball team, with 111 affiliaties across 8 states.[1]
